Apple & Sage
Turkey Meatballs

• 1 lb ground turkey light or dark meat
• 1 medium apple peeled and grated
• 1 large egg beaten
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 3 tbsp almond flour
• 1 tbsp fresh sage about 5 leaves
• 1 tsp white ground pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
• 1 pinch allspice
• 1 tbsp avocado oil

Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, grated apple, beaten egg, minced garlic, almond flour, sage, white pepper, onion powder, salt, and allspice. Mix until fully combined. Form the mixture into 12 meatballs. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet. Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until fully cooked through and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Serve the meatballs hot with butternut squash noodles or pasta.
